Why a brain dead immigration policy is harming America -- New York Mayor calls for more and smarter immigration, not less

Occasionally a politician speaks truth to power, and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg did so on Tuesday.

He pointed out that in 1991, 18 percent of Canada’s and America’s immigrants were rated as highly skilled.

Then he stated that in 2011, Canada’s percentage had soared to 67 percent, while the United States was falling further behind, at 13 percent.

What an obvious idea Canada had, bring in the best and brightest and watch your economy thrive—it certainly has compared to the US.

He also stated that the only solution for destroyed inner city areas, such as in Detroit, was to import thousands of immigrants to bring back the vitality and energy.

“I would argue the federal government should go one step further. They should deliberately force some places that don’t want immigrants to take them, because that’s the only solution for these big, hollowed-out cities where industry has left and is never going to come back unless you get some people to move there,” he stated.
